A saw blade includes a body, saw blade teeth disposed on a first edge of the body, and a ramp element disposed on a second edge of the body, the second edge opposing the first edge. The ramp element is repeated along the longitudinal axis of the body to define a ramp element pattern. The ramp element includes a rise portion disposed proximal to a cutting direction of the saw blade and a relief portion disposed distal to the cutting direction of the saw blade. At least one of the rise portion and the relief portion of the ramp element defines a variable curve geometry.

A sawmill for tree logs includes a rocking carriage to pick up fresh logs and feed them into the path of a saw blade, as well further provisions relating to improvements to infeed systems for the fresh logs, as well as to, outflow systems for transfer of sawn-off product to a production line conveyor or the like for further processing to downline processes after the first saw cuts on the fresh logs.
